Shahrukh Khan played a very convincing tough guy during the “Don” franchise and now it looks like SRK will be playing another don in Farhan Akhtar’s new movie.

King Khan will most likely play a Gujarati don in Akhtar’s new movie which will also be produced by Ritesh Sidhwani. Although the script is still being worked out, the producers have confirmed Khan for the part.

“SRK is doing the film. We are not sure when it will go on floors exactly but it will be next year,” said Sidhwani to IBN Live. “Shah Rukh is excited about the film but we need to work out the schedule as he has prior commitments.”

Khan is currently working on Farah Khan’s movie “Happy New Year” along with Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan and a few others.

The producers want to make sure that have a really good script in hand for the new “Don 3.”

“With a franchise like ‘Don’ and the character, its important to get excited by the script. Neither Shah Rukh, nor Farhan or me wants to get into making a film because there is excitement about it. We also want to be happy with the script if that happens then I would love to do it,” said Sidhwani.

Farhan Akhtar will also help produce Zoya Akhtar’s next film, which is yet to be titled, with Hrithik Roshan, Ranveer Singh and Priyanka Chopra.

“Its an ensemble cast. We are waiting to get the actors finalized first, then make a formal announcement,” said Sidhwani. “There is speculation going on but we are not talking about the three people in the project. We will start filming in mid April next year.”

Shahrukh Khan recently wrapped up his first filming schedule at the end of September in Dubai for “Happy New Year” and will set to continue filming for the movie soon.
